Some of us have been lucky enough to get a second chance. A friend who went through an ugly divorce falls in love for real the second time around. A mother who got a second chance at life after surviving cancer...Have you ever been given the grace of a second chance?

For some bizarre reason, the psych ward gave me a second chance.
My school had me involuntarily admitted and the ward was too full and the nurse let me leave. I knew I needed help, but I also knew money was tight, the US healthcare system is garbage, and my parents thought mental health was a scam.
I was NOT in a good place and probably should have stayed the full three days, but I didn’t. At the very least, I didn’t kms. The school counselor acted as my therapist for the last four months of seventh grade, and I’m no longer suicidal.
